give the gift of
educational freedom

The Hive Method Foundation
is a faith-based nonprofit organization that equips families and educators with a proven framework to create homeschool pods that align with their values.

for the next generation.

“As the family goes,
so goes the nation. Because there’s nothing more important to all of us, and nothing more important to our society, than the family.”

Ronald Raegan

Every gift fuels this mission. Together, we can strengthen families and rewrite the future of education, one pod at a time.

what exactly
is a pod?

it’s a small group of families who come together to educate their children in community and split the cost of an educator.

Pods are flexible. They’re personal. They’re grounded in strong academics, and designed to foster creativity, critical thinking and connection. Think of it as the best parts of school—structure, socialization, accountability—without the broken system.

Our son could truly be a poster child for this program because who he was a year ago, before starting his first pod, to who he is today is a night and day difference. We were a bit hesitant and fearful about enrolling him in any program because he had so many fears himself, like separation anxiety and being easily intimidated by other kids. But it has been an answered prayer! It’s been an incredible year of hitting milestone after milestone for us! This program, this community, and these Educators have exceeded our expectations and I thank God everyday for The Hive Method.

If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be homeschooling my kids,
I would’ve laughed.

My husband and I honestly thought homeschool kids weren’t prepared for the “real world.” That was our mindset—until 2020.

When the world shut down, life slowed down. My kids were home, and I got this little glimpse of what it felt like to really be with them. Something in me shifted. I thought, this is what I want…

more time.
more connection.
more family.

We had no idea how it would work—especially financially. But we knew it was right, so we said “yes” first and figured out the “how” as we went. And let me tell you… that first year was hard. I had so many questions…

what curriculum is safe?
how do I even do this?
how do I not lose my mind?

I started trying different ways of homeschooling
just to keep from giving up. That’s when I gathered a few other families and we split the cost of an educator.

At the time, it felt like survival. But looking back, it was the very beginning of something bigger...the first seed of what would later become The Hive Method Foundation.

how it works

01 pod creator

the visionary who creates an ideal learning environment for their child and gathers like-minded families and an educator with the same goals

01 educator

the cultivator who carries out the pod creator’s vision with an emphasis on each child’s character and individual strengths

08 families

the community that becomes the village to lean on, learn from and grow with—who split the cost of the educator

The change from shy and negative self talk to confidence and pride. The shift in my husband thinking it’s a phase that will pass, to assumption that this is how we will always do ‘school.’ Now there is peace in our day to day. It’s the way it should’ve always been.

academic standards + life skills

We believe education should prepare kids not just for tests—but for life.

The Hive Method encourages and empowers families to include these subjects in their curriculum line-up

  • math
    reading
    science
    writing
    history

  • money management
    entrepreneurship
    investing basics

  • Hands-on mentorships with skilled trades & professionals

  • cooking
    communication
    teamwork
    critical thinking
    debate
    innovation
    health + wellness

let’s be honest.
the education system is broken.

Parents send their kids to school expecting a safe environment and solid academics. But too often, what comes home doesn’t match that expectation.

Kids are falling behind in basic skills. They’re facing social pressures that don’t line up with family values, being introduced to topics parents weren’t prepared for and didn’t agree to.

It’s not just about grades anymore. Many kids are stressed out, checked out, or just going through the motions.

and parents?

They’re left trying to figure it out on their own—juggling work, home life, and the growing sense that they’re not getting the support they need.

72%

of parents are dissatisfied with the academic instruction being provided in traditional schools.

83%

of parents are concerned about the school environment (drugs, safety, negative peer pressure, etc.) as their main reason for homeschooling.

teachers are just as brokenhearted.

They entered the classroom with passion, but many are walking away.

The system piles on demands, crushes creativity, and leaves them burned out instead of inspired.

And the ones who suffer most? The kids. A one-size-fits-all system misses their uniqueness, dims their gifts, and fails to protect their innocence. Families struggle. Educators struggle. Children struggle.

90%

of teachers are feeling stressed and burned out.

50%

of teachers leave the profession within 5 years.

our values

Every pod may look different, but they’re rooted in the same foundational beliefs.

  • The Hive Method is rooted in biblical values. We believe strong, traditional families are the best foundation for children and crucial for a strong society.

  • We believe in the God-given rights of parents to direct their children’s upbringing and education. We stand for medical freedom and a pro-America approach to learning that honors faith, family, and liberty.

  • We were never meant to do this alone. We foster a culture of encouragement, partnership, and community—where families support one another and educators are trusted allies in both academic growth and character formation.

  • We believe the role of an educator is sacred. We honor our teachers with timely pay, open communication, and deep respect, recognizing their investment in shaping the next generation.

  • Our pods are intentionally small—no more than 10 students—to cultivate meaningful relationships, individualized support, and strong community ties between students, parents, and educators.

  • Pods meet up to 3 days per week, preserving the rhythm of home life and ensuring that the majority of a child’s formation happens where it matters most—in the home, with their family.

pods don’t grow in isolation. They grow in community that turns into a support system. That’s why we’ve designed a private app where families and educators can…

  • connect with members who share their values.

  • post and discover pod opportunities.

  • access courses, trainings, and resources.

  • join events, discussions, and conversations that keep them encouraged and equipped.

It’s more than support—it’s belonging. And it ensures families and educators never have to walk this journey alone.

no ads. no nonsense.
it’s purpose-driven and it’s FREE to join.

01. families + educators connect

02. we provide the community, framework to create or teach a pod, and back-end support

03. pods launch anywhere, anytime—and kids, parents, and educators thrive

Working with The Hive Method has been an incredible experience. Creating a pod wasn’t something that I could have ever imagined doing but they pave the way with resources and insight that makes it easy and even enjoyable. I am SO confident in this new role of Pod Creator!
